Robbie Fowler admitted he isn't in the same shape as his footballer days

"No one skied in Toxteth when I was a kid. If they did they were a bit posher than me."

He also explained he was never allowed to hit the slopes because of his contract at a football club.

But, even though the show has been slammed as one of the most dangerous reality programmes with many celebrities suffering horrific injuries, Robbie admitted that isn’t his biggest worry.

The Liverpudlian is more anxious about wearing lycra. He continued: “Standing on top of a hill you’ve got to ski down and then jump off didn’t bother me. But putting the tight suit on? That worried me. I’m not in as good shape as I once was.”
